Sync all subscriptions?

[danshaw]

If I have a large number of subscriptions to channels, is there anyway to sync all of them rather than me having to add every single subscription as a source?

Currently you need to add each one as a source. What would be a more convenient method for you? It wouldn't be hard to add an import tool of some kind.

Yeah, some type of import feature would be great. Maybe a textbox where we could paste in all of the URLs or import them via a text file. Whatever works.

Having then some type of way to pick a template for the source parameters would also be pretty cool. So I could say that some of them I'd want to keep the videos all the time and some of them I want them to be deleted after a certain period of time.

CSV Import would be nice.

I would suggest to allow the opml-import like other such clients do. You can aquire your subscription list via google-takeout, and if you only export youtube/outube-music then you'll get an opml, which you can also import into any RSS reader.

I very much vote for the feature, to import subscription lists

One more vote for this. The Google Takeout option is fairly simple and gives you a CSV with your list of channels with the headers (Channel Id,Channel Url,Channel Title). If there were some way to take the subscriptions.csv as input and set some global setting defaults, importing that list should be fairly simple from an end-user standpoint.

Can you upload a copy of the takeout CSV so I can see an example of it?

See attached for a sample.

Thanks, looks easy enough to import.
